Dec 11 - Panajachel to Quetzaltenango

We had the morning in Panajachel before our trip to Quetzaltenango (which everyone refers to by its Mayan name, Xela, which is much shorter and easier to type - clever Mayans)

The area around Lake Atitlan was pretty hard hit by the flooding from Hurricane Stan, including some villages that were completely wiped off the map. The only damage we saw in Panajachel was a missing road.

Apparently that little creek was about 200 feet wide at one point.












The lake itself was nice, surrounded by volcanoes and looked to be a pretty good vacation spot. This was a shot we took from the road as were leaving.
